Welcome to Our Newly Named Blog

True, "Remy's World" was not one of the choices in last week's What Should We Call RW Daily? poll. I'll be honest: It popped into my head days after the poll, and when I put it up against another possible name in an email to several colleagues, "Remy's World" won in a landslide.

Thanks to everyone who voted, and sorry about the veto. (What can I say? It's good to be the king.) I did make one concession to popular demand: Please note the presence of my Race Face in the header, replacing the dopey head shot that was there before.

Finally, I'm sorry for just now putting that song into the head of any readers who were not already humming it immediately after seeing "Remy's World." (i.e. Readers without small children.)

But that's it for apologies, because I do like "Remy's World." It pretty much sums up what this blog has become over the years, for better or for worse. And it dovetails nicely with "Runner's World," while suggesting that I live on a different planet. Which, some would argue, I do.

Also, as one other colleague pointed out, "Remy's World" could be interpreted as an homage to a certain classic film.

On an unrelated note, one feature I'll be introducing is Reader Mail. Every few weeks or so I'll publish a selection of emails from readers and respond as best as I can. These can be questions (about running, love, small-engine repair, whatever), comments, suggestions, recipes... whatever is on your mind.

If you've got something to share, write me at remysworld@runnersworld.com. IMPORTANT: If I publish your letter, I will publish your name, unless you ask me not to.

As an added incentive, and to help celebrate our new name, check it out: I'll send prizes of questionable value to the writers of the first three letters I publish.

And by "three" I mean "five." What the hell, we're celebrating here, right?

Yeah. That's how we do it here in Remy's World.
